25
Q

It is activated by the plunger of the pressurizing valve. When activated it de-energizes the protection relay and this disconnects the electrical power from the solenoid. This makes sure that the valve cannot move by mistake.

A

Limit Switch

26
Q

The main positions of these levers are idle and takeoff thrust.

A

Forward Thrust Levers

27
Q

They are also called the throttles.

A

Forward thrust lever

28
Q

Which of the following is correct?

A

At the drum below the trust levers, the forward thrust lever rotates the drum counter clockwise and the reverse thrust lever rotates the drum clockwise.

29
Q

It is used to accelerate and decelerate engine but cannot be used to shut down engine

A

Forward Thrust Control

30
Q

The Thrust control system transmit the ___ to the fuel control unit via control rods, cables, and drums and puley and flexible controls such as push-pull cables.

A

Engine Start Signal

31
Q

To which component does the power lever transmits the thrust lever signal to?

A

Fuel Control Unit (FCU)

32
Q

When the Thrust levers are in idle, the power lever is in what position?

A

Mid

33
Q

Which of the following is true?

A

If you move the thrust levers forward, the power lever moves up.

34
Q

Where can racks and pinions be found?

A

thrust control drum, engine pylon, and FCU

35
Q

The ____movement of the rack is transformed into a ____ movement by the pinion.

A

circular; radial

36
Q

It ensures that the internal friction must be strong enough to prevent the throttles moving due to vibration but should be small enough to move the throttles easily.

A

Friction Brake

37
Q

The ___mechanism receives signals from the autothrottle computer and uses an electrical servo motor to move the thrust lever.

A

Autothrottle Servo

38
Q

It ensure that the autothrottle servo motor can be disconnected from the mechanical control system.

A

Integral Friction

39
Q

Microswitches are used for the following warnings and controls which depend on the lever position except

A

Engine Fire Warning

40
Q

Which adjustment of the engine thrust control systems is done separately

A

controls between the pylon and the fuel control unit

41
Q

The adjustment between the cockpit and the pylon is usually done with the thrust levers in which position.

A

Idle

42
Q

What is necessary after adjustment of the thrust control system to make sure that thrust control levers can be moved over the full range between idle and full forward thrust adn between idle and full reverse thrust.

A

Travel check

43
Q

Its taks are to activate the thrust reverser, increase engine power, and block the reverse thrust lever while the reverser moves from the stowed to the deployed position.

A

Reverse Thrust Controls

44
Q

It is the mechanical linkage to prevent the pilot from increasing engine power until the reverser is fully deployed.

A

45
Q

When the reverse thrust control lever is moved to reverse idle, the thrust control pinion rotates until the lower roller contacts the cam of the reverser feedback cam.

A

counter-clockwise

46
Q

When the reverser____ the reverse feedback mechanism rotates the reverser feedback cam clockwise.

A

deploys

47

Ensures that the forward thrust lever and the reverse thrust lever can not be activated at the same time.

A

thrust lever lock system

48
Q

What happens when the throttle control lever is pushed forward in the lever lock system?

A

it locks the two rollers of the rocker arm

In a Electrical Thrust Control, how many thrust control signals are sent from each control lever to the associated electronic control unit at the engine.

A

two

50
Q

An _____is used to simulate a higher resistance in the mechanical transmission system.

A

artificial feel mechanism

51
Q

In fly-by-wire Airbus aircraft, how is a new power setting request handled without an autothrottle servo motor?

By sending the request directly to the
FADEC computers

52
Q

What range of positions can the forward thrust control lever be set to?

A

Idle to full forward thrust

53
Q

How does the number of mechanical parts in a thrust control system affect rig points?

A

More parts mean more rig points

54
Q

What does the reverse idle position of the reverse thrust lever do?

A

Activates the reverser

55
Q

Which system uses control switches for functions like take-off warning and thrust reverser activation?

A

Electrical reverse thrust control system

56
Q

Why might some aircraft do not have a throttle interlock system?

A

The FADEC can monitor reverser deployment and adjust fuel flow

57
Q

What dangerous situation can occur if a reverser fails to deploy on an outer engine of a 4-engine aircraft?

A

Strong yaw momentum to runway departure

58
Q

How are the reverser control levers protected on some aircraft with FADEC?

A

By individual electromechanical
interlock actuators

59
Q

How do the FADEC systems of the outer engines communicate on the A340?

A

They lock the reverse levers until both outer reversers are deployed

60
Q

On the A320, it releases the throttle control lever so that it can be pulled further aft out of the idle position for full reverse power.
